Refund policy
At Traveling Ground, transparency is at the core of everything we do. We work hard to accurately represent the condition of every bike, frame, wheel, and component we sell—and we understand that fit, preference, and occasional shipping damage can still happen. If something isn’t right, we’re here to help.
